MANILA, Philippines—The Filipina overseas worker in Dubai who alleged that she was raped by an intruder in her employer’s residence last month was not raped, according to police authorities in United Arab Emirates.
The Philippine Consulate General in Dubai said findings by UAE police investigators showed that the Filipina’s alleged intruder, an Indian national, was actually her boyfriend.
In a statement released by the Department of Foreign Affairs, UAE authorities were quoted as saying that a thorough investigation of the incident and its circumstances indicates that the relationship between the unnamed intruder and the Filipina was intimate and the alleged incident consensual.
Both were jailed for one month in Dubai on charges of immorality and will be sent back to their respective countries.
The consulate said it will continue representations with UAE authorities for the release and repatriation of the Filipina within the month.
